Abstract
We describe a device, based on a clock-driven phase modulator followed by a linear dispersive element, which accurately removes jitter in pulse arrival times. This “temporal lens”, used just prior to the receiver, greatly improves the BER performance of an ultra-long-haul, dense-WDM transmission system.
